Bosch Professional GKS 190 circular saw (1400 W, 190 mm blade, boxed)
The GKS 190 is the best Bosch circular saw in its class: with 1400 W of power it is the most powerful and can cut hard and softwoods with ease. This model has the advantages that should be highlighted first, a greater inclination capacity of the sole (56 degrees) and second, the air blower that keeps the cutting line free of dust and sawdust.
It does not include a briefcase as standard but is supplied with a cardboard box. It does include an adapter for the suction system (1 619 P06 204), the parallel stop (1 608 190 007), and an Allen key (1 907 950 006). It is equipped with a Bosch Optiline Wood 190x30x2 mm 16-tooth saw blade (2 608 641 184).

A good hand-held circular saw, with an ergonomic handle covered with non-slip material with a rubber feel.

Comments and Ratings
It is said that it is a fantastic circular saw and that it is worth paying the difference in price with respect to DIY saws. Some users have bought it to get started in carpentry and comment that it cuts very well and that it is solid and rigid, and that it feels very professional. More experienced users say that every Makita power tool is always good or has never been easier to work with. Its good performance when cutting hard woods is also highlighted.
Other buyers have been surprised by its ability to cut laminate and decking, even leaving a good finish on 8mm thick floors. They comment that after comparing the circular saws of various brands they decided to buy the Makita HS7611 model. Other users suggest that the power of the motor is more than enough to cut softwoods even 66mm [maximum cutting capacity of the saw], but they doubt that it can cut that thickness in hardwoods.

THE MOST POWERFUL CIRCULAR SAW: MAKITA 5008MG 1800 W
Magnesium is an extremely light but strong metal: its density is 1738 kg / m³. Well, the casing of the Makita 5008MG circular saw is made of magnesium, a good saw, perhaps the best in its category, which stands out for being very light despite its size (210 mm blade). This electric saw only weighs 5.1 kg.
The Makita 5008MG circular saw has a very powerful 1800W motor and idles at 5200 RPM. Thanks to this disc, you can cut materials up to 75.5 mm thick (at 90 degrees) or 57 mm (at 45 degrees). And if you tilt it a little more, because that is one of the advantages of this saw, you can cut boards up to 51.5 mm thick at 50 degrees.
This saw is easy to handle thanks to its ergonomic grip covered with non-slip material. Also its adjustment levers are rubberized. For added comfort while cutting, the Makita 5008MG also includes an LED that illuminates the cutting area and an air jet that removes dust from the pencil mark, making it easier for you to see. In addition, the depth of cut is very easy to read and the blade is easily changed with an Allen key, thanks to the spindle lock. In other words, it is a very comfortable circular saw at a general level. The only thing missing is the laser guide and crease fin to prevent kickback.
As for drawbacks, it is criticized that it comes without an adapter for use with a guide (you have to buy it separately). An electric brake is also missing. And he regrets that Makita did not put a cable a little longer.
